Day 8: John 17:1,6,20

1 When Jesus had spoken these words, he lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, “Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son that the Son may glorify you.”

6 “I have manifested your name to the people whom you gave me out of the world. Yours they were, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word.”

20 “I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in me through their word

Prayer Lesson: There are three different individuals Jesus prayed for in John 17: Himself (vs. 1-5), His disciples (6-19), and other future followers (20-26). Jesus offers up what is called intercessory prayer (interceding to God on behalf of others). This is an important part of our prayer life. Of course we should bring our own burdens to the Father, but that should be balanced with prayer towards others. Jesus gives us a great model: pray for yourself, pray for your family/friends, and pray for other needs you become aware of.

Prayer for Today: Follow the model of Jesus today. Take time to pray for needs that you have. Make a list of family and friends and think of ways you can pray for them. Outside of your family and friends, what are some other prayer needs you’re aware of? Pray for them as well.
